EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Negre du Royaume d'Ardra' (1797) is an intriguing and historically significant engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This full-length image captures an African man from the Kingdom of Ardra, located in Benin West Africa, now modern-day Nigeria. The man is depicted carrying a large object on his shoulders, showcasing his strength and endurance. He is barefoot and bare-chested, emphasizing the connection between his body and the land. The engraving is a part of the larger work "Costumes de Differents Pays," which aimed to document and preserve the diverse clothing and customs of various countries. This particular image offers a glimpse into the anthropology and ethnology of the African continent during the 18th century. The man's clothing, which includes a loincloth and a decorative skirt, is indicative of his indigenous culture. The hand-tinted engraving on paper adds a layer of vibrant color, making the image even more captivating. The exterior setting, with its lush vegetation and open sky, further emphasizes the connection between the man and his environment. This historic image, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich heritage and diversity of the world during the 18th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the customs and traditions of different peoples and cultures, making it an essential addition to any collection of anthropological or historical art.
